This medical illustration shows a view of the lower gastrointestinal tract, focusing on the large intestine within the abdominal cavity. The parts of the large intestine are the colon and rectum. The large intestine is depicted as a thicker tubular structure encircling the coiled small intestine. The labeled colon includes the ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid sections, leading to the labeled rectum at the end of the digestive tract. The small intestine, shown in the center, appears as a densely folded, thinner-walled structure. The liver and stomach are partially visible at the top.
